Paying for inclusion

August 27, 2003

Little-known Global Business Listing is one of the best Pay for Inclusion (PFI) search engine on the Web today.

Global Business Listing was launched at the beginning of 2003 without much fanfare or publicity, but happens to be one of the most performing pay-for-inclusion search engine for businesses that are looking for a high-performance search engine, but that have only a small marketing budget.

For example, if you type the very generic keyword: "food growers" in Google, the Global Business Listing search engine comes out at number two, on the very first page of Google. There are currently approximately 400 member companies that have signed up on the GBL portal. One notable characteristic of most of these companies is that, for the most part, their websites have not been optimized at all. For these companies, the Global Business Listing search engine represents an economical solution in getting a premium listing, at a much lower cost than having a professional SEO firm perform an "organic" optimization of their website.

As a second example, a search on Google for the keywords: "electronic contract manufacturers" will bring Global Business Listing on the first page of Google, where people will be able to click and find companies and websites that otherwise would never be found, for the reasons stated above.

An annual listing in Global Business Listing costs US $ 269 and even includes a personalized homepage, complete with company description, company logo and main products and services offered. Additionally, there are up to three links pointing to your website. What makes Global Business Listing fairly unique is the fact that, on top of using the regular search box one would expect, you can make a search by industry, using the GBL global business directory.

At US $ 269 it is $ 30.00 less than what Yahoo charges, and Global Business Listing guarantees inclusion within 24 hours, something that is unheard of at Yahoo. Additionally, members that have signed up for the service enjoy a unique 10% automatic discount on all their web hosting fees, thanks to a partnering agreement between Global Business Listing and Sun Hosting, Canada's unique wholesale web hosting company.
